Default P1349 not going away!.

So I drifted a corner in my 2001 ls430 (wasn’t really a drift) then low oil pressure warning came on and car shut off seconds later. after that happened I’ve been having a p1349 code that just doesn’t go away I’ve replaced ocvs,actuators( timing tube cam gear assembly) and have done the vvt filter the vvt filter was indeed full of junk. I have done timing belt aswell only problem is p1349 haven’t got a bank 2 vvt malfunction or anything. What can be the cause of this code? Bad head or something? Haven’t heard a knock or tick so i don’t think it too bad but I wanna get rid of that code for Good

how did you diagnose the code? Are you using Techstream or just a generic OBD2 scanner?

For some reason, most of the vvti code are on bank 1 for Toyota/Lexus
Did you replaced the part with aftermarket?
Were you able to clear the code?
I was a bit surprised to read that your vvti filter was full of junk. (honestly not expecting this)
